KIND TREATMENT PLEASES Express Pleasure at the Courteous Manner In Which They Were Re- ceived In the United States—Have No Idea How Long Conference at Niagara Falls Will Last. New York, May 20.—The three Mex- ican peace delegates, before leaving New York for Niagara Falls, abandon- ed their policy of strict silence long eaough to express optimism as to the result of the mediation. “We are very hopeful—very con- fident of a successful adjustment,” sald Emilio Rabasa, leader and spokes- man of the Mexican delegation. “We have no idea how long the con: ference will last,” said FEmilio Ra- basa, the leader and spokesman of the Mexican delegates. “It may take three days or three months. We shall be governed entirely by our instruc: tions.” N After ‘the conference is over they will return to Mexico City, said Mr. Rabasa. It had been reported that they would visit Europe.

Mellen, in a two-minute telephone conversation with J. Pierpont Morgan, became president of the Northern Pa- cific railway was told by Mr. Mellen, former president of the New Haven railroad, before the interstate com- merce commission in his testimony regarding financial transactions of the New Haven and its subsidiaries. Assurances had been given the commission by Mr, Mellen that he would lay bare the details of the ex- traordinary deals which, in the belief of the commission, cost the New Ha- ven stockholders millions of dollars. Mr. Mellen testilied that Mr. Mor- gan called him on the telephone and that the conversation was about as follows: “‘That you, Mr. Mellen?’ “‘Yes. “‘Can anybody hear * “No." “‘Will you take the Northern Pa- cific presidency? “‘Yes. “‘Leave all the details to me? “‘Yes.'” Ignorant of His Salary. About two or three weeks later, Mr. Mellen testified, he became presi- dent. He did not know when he took the office, he said, what the salary would be. He added that he knew it would be “all right.” “While you were president of the Northern Pacific was the matter of the New Haven presidency taken up?” Counsel Joseph W.. Folk of the commission asked. “Yes. Mr. Morgan told me he would make me president of the New Ha- ven.” “As president of the New Haven, what were your relations with Mr. Morgan?” “That is difficult to answer.” “Were you Morgan's man?” “I have been called his office boy"in the press,” Mr. Mellen laughingly re- plied. “What would say as to the rela- tions?” “I was proud of his confidence and proud to be called his man. I thought a great deal of Mr. Morgan. We re- garded Morgan a man of ability, ex- perience and capacity. I recall no case in which he did not have his way.” Tells of New Haven Trade. Turning to another line of inquiry, Mr. Folk asked: “How did you happen to get the 8,000 shares of New Haven stock which were to Dbe exchanged for ‘Westchester stock?” “Mr. Byrnes, former police inspec- tor of New York, asked that the shares be placed ir. my hands so that he might not hs> - ‘- deal with a corporation.” Mr. Mellen said after many ‘feel- ers” came to him he laid the ques- tion of the Westchester's purchase before the board and Mr. Morgan moved that a committee look into the matter.
